Vehicle On Road Test (VORT)

SCHOOL CURRENTLY CLOSED 

The Vehicle On Road Test will test your skills and knowledge as a safe and competent driver. Your test will take approximately 45 minutes and you will be required to demonstrate 5 low speed manoeuvres, (move off on a hill, angle park, U-turn, 3-point turn and reverse parallel park) as well as a general drive. The general drive component will test your driving skills e.g. changing lanes, turning on and from busy roads, turning at traffic lights, negotiating roundabouts, stop and give-way signs, your interaction with other road users and the system of car control.

To pass a VORT you must demonstrate 5 slow speed manoeuvres and in combination with the general drive score a pass mark of 90% or more and not breach any road law during the drive. Any breach of road law will result in an immediate fail and the test will be terminated.

If you are unsuccessful your instructor will debrief you on the reasons why. A copy of the test marking sheet will be given to you detailing your performance.

The VORT will be conducted on a test route set by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles.  The test route is designed  to enable you to demonstrate safe operation of a motor vehicle and interaction with other road users in a range of situations.The VORT will result in either a 'pass' or a 'fail' and is an objective testing system based on your correct responses to road and traffic conditions.You are not permitted to undertake a VORT with any Authorised Examiner who has contributed to your training. Your Motor Driving Instructor must book your VORT with an Authorised Examiner at least two full days prior to the date of the test.If you fail a VORT, you must wait at least 14 days before attempting another VORT.
